🧮 Forward Value (FV) Estimation
Let’s stay conservative, like your CA.
- TTM EPS: ₹36.52
- Fair P/E: 15 (commodity chemicals, high volatility)
✅ FV = ₹36.52 × 15 = ₹547.80
CMP = ₹524.70
➡️ Upside: ~4.4%
✅ Fairly Valued. Enter if you’re bullish on chemicals or just want a dividend-friendly grinder.

🎯 EduInvesting Take
“When revenue’s chilling but PAT is sprinting — look for magic in ‘Other Income’.”
IGPL has built a consistent, well-managed business. But FY25 growth came not from sales, but from financial wizardry (investments, interest, income). And that makes us cautious.
CAPEX-heavy. Chem-heavy. Promoter-heavy.
If FY26 sees operating margin expansion from CAPEX spend, great. Else? You might just be sitting on glassware with no chemical reaction.
🧨 Risks
- EPS growth driven more by income than ops
- RPT web needs more transparency
- Capex stress could dent future dividends
- Flat revenue = stagnant pricing power
🏁 Final Verdict
- EPS strong ✅
- Revenue meh ❌
- Valuation fair ✅
- Transparency? Eh. ⚠️
“A good stock at a fair price — but not a compounding machine unless ops catch up.”
